Chapter 634: Not Owed

Li Li Qinghong waited in the hall for a while, and Li Li Chenghuai brought people up. This youth was wearing silver feather thunder clothes, with purple patterns on the two collars, and a sword at his waist. His eyes were bright, and he saw Li Li Qinghong at a glance. He bowed, his words were clear and crisp, and he said loudly: "Xi Xi Zikang, a thunder cultivator from the North Sea, has seen the Fellow Daoist!"

Li Li Qinghong nodded and whispered: "I am Li Li Qinghong of the Wangyue Li family, I have seen the Fellow Daoist."

"I have heard of your name for a long time."

Xi Xi Zikang had black hair tied up, a white forehead with a purple dot, and a youthful appearance. He didn't know his age, his eyes were clean, and he said warmly:

"Xi Zikang lives in the North Sea and has also heard of the dispute between Zhao and Yue. Traveling south all the way, I came to visit your noble clan first."

Li Li Qinghong didn't know his background, but this person was very polite and a thunder cultivator, so it was naturally difficult to have bad feelings. She nodded: "The family has encountered some changes, and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me…"

After a little pleasantry, Xi Xi Zikang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "My family has lived in the North Sea for generations, practicing the 'Brother Xuan Thunder' path, and has had a foundation for over eight hundred years. We lack the 'Xiao Thunder' method, so this time I came to exchange with your noble clan."

He found a gentle topic to open the situation. Li Li Qinghong took a sip of tea, and her heart gradually settled.

The Li family has two Xiao Thunder methods, both are 'Brother Xuan Thunder Bo'. One is the third-grade 【Purple Thunder Secret Yuan Gong】, and the other is the 【Xiao Yun Wen Thunder Method】 practiced from ancient methods. Li Li Qinghong has also practiced them, at least third-grade, not reaching the fifth grade.

【There is nothing that cannot be taken out for exchange.】

Without any other reason, for the current Li family, 【Purple Thunder Secret Yuan Gong】 itself is not a powerful cultivation method. Although the power is considered large among the third grade, it shortens life and cuts off descendants. The truly powerful thing is the three mysterious thunders, which is that 【Purple Talisman Yuan Light Secret Method】! "Furthermore… this person traveled ten thousand miles, is it just for a cultivation method? My cultivation method comes from the 【Ce Thunder Bo Yun Method Dao】, and it is not difficult to see. I fear he is still here for this Cave Heaven, to test it out."

Li Li Qinghong had a faint haze about the Lei Yun Cave Heaven, so she nodded very politely and replied: "Good, my family has also encountered difficulties, and your clan is a righteous thunder method. As long as the two families talk about the price, there is nothing inappropriate."

Xi Xi Zikang smiled slightly and whispered: "I hope to see the beginning of the volume first."

Li Li Qinghong called someone to take out the jade slip. The Li family originally had specially recorded volumes for choosing cultivation methods for juniors, which were provided for selection, and there was no need to specifically record them. Xi Xi Zikang waited for a while, heard a clanging sound in front of the hall, and a bright light flashed. A young cultivator stepped in.

This cultivator was wearing a white Daoist robe, with gray-gold robes inside. His facial features were upright, his eyes were slightly open, and the heavenly light flowed left and right. He raised his eyebrows and bowed to Li Li Qinghong first, and someone behind him brought the slip in.

"Li Li Ximing of the Wangyue Li family."

Xi Xi Zikang heard his voice was a bit hoarse, but his tone was flat, and he didn't care. He read the jade slip in his hand, and a look of surprise appeared between his brows, replying: "'Brother Xuan Thunder Bo'? Is it the Fellow Daoist's cultivation method?"

Li Li Qinghong's immortal foundation was not a secret. She just responded, and Xi Xi Zikang hesitated:

"To be honest, I have also heard of this immortal foundation… it is something from the 【Ce Thunder Bo Yun Method Dao】."

He raised his eyebrows to look at Li Li Qinghong and whispered:

"This method is a substitute for the Xiao Thunder 'Winter Thunder Sound', but it is called 'Brother Xuan Thunder Bo', attempting to reconcile Brother Xuan and Xiao. It is also the consistent style of the 【Ce Thunder Bo Yun Method Dao】…"

Li Li Qinghong listened carefully and thought, replying:

"Your clan has a long history, do you know why this method is like this…"

"Hey!"

Xi Xi Zikang's tone contained a bit of bitterness, replying: "This can't be counted as a secret. From south to north, everyone knows that there are five virtues in the world, and also understands that there are Brother Xuan, Xiao, and Yuan thunders. It's just that the cultivators who practice thunder methods for generations have never understood why water and fire have five, but thunder and magnetism only have three?"

"Even if the world is like this, Brother Xuan and Xiao dominate thunder, and Yuan thunder is also called Yuan magnetism. How can one say there should be a fourth thunder dominating magnetism, two by two, to conform to the principles of heaven and earth…"

Seeing Li Li Qinghong nodding thoughtfully, Xi Xi Zikang sighed: "So there are always predecessors trying to prove it, suspecting that there is a Dao fruit at the beginning of heaven and earth that is not seen. This 'Brother Xuan Thunder Bo' is their effort…"

"So that's how it is."

Li Li Qinghong gradually understood in her heart: 【It seems that 【Du Ruo】 and 【Six Thunder Brother Xuan Punishment Order】 are in my hands and are handy, not by accident. It turns out that the immortal foundation was originally the result of many improvements…】

She went through it in her heart and asked:

"By logic, if this path exists, there must be corresponding spiritual objects in the world, and there must be demon objects born with corresponding immortal foundations… How can there be no reason for them not to be seen?"

Xi Xi Zikang was speechless, clearly having no certainty about these secrets, so he had to say: "I only heard some rumors, saying that in ancient times, there were many immortals and Immortal Lords, and those who achieved the Dao were transcendent, and could even borrow from heaven and earth, hide from heaven and earth… thereby making heaven and earth change… I fear that a thunder was hidden by a great Immortal Lord very early."

His tone was hesitant, clearly having no certainty.

Li Li Qinghong then nodded, and Xi Xi Zikang said:

"My family has the most thunder objects. If Li Qinghong has any requirements, I can try to take them from my family."

Li Li Qinghong paused, and for a while, she really couldn't find the spiritual objects her family lacked, so she said: "Cultivation methods are better for exchanging cultivation methods. Your clan has a long history, I don't know if there are any cultivation methods of the Mingyang path."

Xi Xi Zikang was slightly surprised, pondered for a while, and replied:

"My family naturally doesn't have it, but my family is under the 【Beihuan Sect】 of the North Sea, and can exchange for Foundation Establishment cultivation methods from the Upper Sect. I will write a letter, and there should be some to choose from."

"Oh?"

Li Li Ximing, who had been listening quietly on the side, finally nodded. Li Li Qinghong heard this and her eyes lit up, secretly thinking:

【The management of cultivation methods in the North Sea is so loose! Actually, they can exchange for cultivation methods from the Immortal Sect and then resell them?!】

She had also heard of the name of the Beihuan Sect, so she said warmly: "Good! If so, my family will take out more things, and I hope to exchange for a few more!"

"This…"

Xi Xi Zikang hesitated, whispering: "This thing actually cannot be brought to the table… The cultivation methods won't be too good… Li Qinghong, don't think too much…"

Seeing that the Li family aunt and nephew had doubts, he shook his head with a bit of embarrassment, clearly involving the secret matters of others, and Li Li Qinghong didn't want to chase and ask, so she had to give up. Xi Xi Zikang then laughed: "This matter is settled! There is another matter, I hope to see the magic tool in the Fellow Daoist's hand."

Xi Xi Zikang seemed to understand that his request was a bit excessive, revealing deep apologies. Li Li Qinghong didn't have any anger, and immediately understood what he was referring to, asking:

"【Six Thunder Brother Xuan Punishment Order】?"

"Exactly!"

Xi Xi Zikang said hurriedly: "That thing… is quite important to my family. Years ago, when we came out of the ruins in the sea of the Lei Yun Temple, my family's predecessor fought with True Person Bu Zi of Qingsong. At that time, both were Foundation Establishment… My family's Adult narrowly lost, and it is still a regret to this day…"

"I hope you can lend it to me for reference!"

Li Li Qinghong didn't know his intention, and only wanted to get the cultivation method first, and then discuss other things. She said softly: "The Fellow Daoist has just arrived, and Li Qinghong is inevitably a bit wary. This matter should be pushed back first. After the two families have exchanged cultivation methods and have more understanding, then discuss this matter…"

She looked at the youth's expression seriously, and found his eyes were clear, and he said neatly: "Good!"

He responded to Li Li Qinghong readily, showing the neat temperament of a North Sea thunder cultivator, chatted with her for a few sentences, said goodbye, and left riding the wind without any reluctance.

Li Li Qinghong watched him go away, whispered:

"I am also a cultivator practicing the 【Ce Thunder Bo Yun Method Dao】, and my immortal foundation is 'Tianming Ce'. Traveling south all the way this time, I am going to the Salt Lake to turn to the East Sea."

Li Li Qinghong sighed, and asked:

"I don't know where you are going?"

Xi Xi Zikang shook his head and laughed:

"You and I are both practicing others' Dao lineages. Li Qinghong is also suspicious in her heart, why ask me? The dragon genus swallows thunder. After such a long time of water descending and thunder rising, there are still things that have not been finished. The Upper Sect had already informed me, so I traveled south all the way, not bothering the Dragon Lord to take action and pull, hurting the clansmen…"

Li Li Qinghong sent him out all the way. When they reached the edge of the island, she saw Xi Xi Zikang stepping on thunder, looking back and whispering: "It's not all bad things, there is no need to kill you and me, perhaps there are many benefits. I will come to find Li Qinghong when I arrive. If we go together, it's a partner."

Li Li Qinghong was silent for a breath, watched him go away, and rode the thunder back to the peak. Li Li Ximing happened to greet her, whispering: "Aunt… he seems to have other intentions."

Li Li Qinghong also noticed it. This person had no urgency for the cultivation method, and the magic tool looked like a bonus. It was more like using this point to get closer, and the news revealed later was probably more important.

As for the last one or two sentences when leaving, I fear it was the true purpose of this person coming here. Li Li Qinghong knew it, didn't say much to him, and only said softly: "Don't worry, are you better?"

"Aunt, don't worry."

Li Li Ximing's tone was very gentle, the beard he had grown was shaved clean, and his magic power was flashing with bright light. Li Li Qinghong rarely heard such a tone from him, slightly surprised. The youth bowed and whispered:

"Aunt, I am going to cultivate in seclusion."

Li Li Qinghong said "Hmm", watching him go to the Witch Mountain where the spiritual energy was most abundant on the shore. The hall was silent. The woman sat quietly for a while, left the table, and returned to the cave dwelling.

……

In Pingya Island.

The morning light jumped from the distant mountains, sprinkling on the lake, golden and glistening. Pingya Island was flat, the islands were connected, white gas surged, and pavilions and pavilions were scattered, a scene of immortal family.

The main hall at the highest point reflected the morning light. Li Li Chenghuai stepped over the steps one by one and stepped into the main hall at the highest point. The flying beasts carved on the corners of the hall had slightly red eyes, revealing four teeth, showing the prosperity of the fire veins. He pinched his fingers and calculated:

"Summer is approaching, it is also a big day. The day chosen by the Zhou Xing generation to receive the method and get the Qi is not bad."

Li Li Ximing and Li Li Qinghong closed their cultivation one after another, and time passed like water. The Li family ushered in the first method-receiving ceremony after unifying Wangyue. Li Li Chenghuai held the Qingshan Peak of the sixteen mansions and two peaks, naturally arriving early.

Entering the hall, the person in the head seat had already arrived first, standing with his back to him, hands behind his back, carefully checking the map. The dark red pleated clothes were painted with gold patterns. He took off his large robe in summer, looking crisp and neat.

The clothing system was decided by the brothers. Li Li Chenghuai naturally knew that this was the family head's clothing, dark red with gold, as the hub of the family. His own was blue outside and white inside, representing the head of the Qingshan family, which was clear at a glance.

The Li family's sixteen mansions, two peaks, and one mountain, the peak heads of the sixteen mansions are all wearing red robes. The two peaks are 【Qingshan】 which represents the clan head, blue outside and white inside, and 【Mount Yuting】 which represents the inspection, light white with gray, clear at a glance.

As for the 【Milin】 mountain, it is too vast to be easily given to others, and it is still vacant. The purple clothes decided have not been used until now.

Li Li Chenghuai went up a few steps, saluted Li Li Chengliao, and whispered: "Family Head, the Zhou Xing generation and the descendants of the sixteen mansions in the island have all arrived outside the hall."

Most of the Li family's Zhou Xing generation have stepped on the path of cultivation. The oldest is twenty-six years old, already at the sixth layer of Tai Xi, which is Li Li Zhoufang of the Bo branch. Li Li Chengliao has seen most of them, and said directly: "Let them in."

The excellent descendants of the sixteen mansions below, about thirty people, the conditions for selection were naturally a section lower than his own children. He looked at them, none of them looked like stupid people, but most of their cultivation bases were unsatisfactory.

This matter was not entirely bad. Li Li Chengliao had long observed it carefully. Among the same clan, it is often difficult to discuss kinship across three or five generations, but after such an adoption, the originally distant relationship was drawn close again, and the four branches became much closer.

He secretly pondered: "Some great clans stand tall for hundreds of years without falling; I fear this adoption is an extremely important method..."

On the contrary, the mansion mountains on the west and east banks, the emerging various surnames and poor families are rapidly accumulating strength and standing firm. Li Li Chengliao sat on the island, observing this matter with a vermilion pen every night, I fear no one is more familiar with it than him.

This child was the only seedling of the Ji branch, his eldest son—Li Li Zhouluo.

"It's just…"

Li Li Chenghuai had never been willing to cultivate in seclusion for long. Li Li Zhouluo grew up bit by bit by his side, his manners elegant and polite. The man standing to the side watched this with relief in his heart.

Li Li Chengliao cared about the people of the four surnames, nodded with a smile, but what he thought of was other things. This series of arrangements was not Li Li Chengliao's credit. He knew it clearly in his heart. He just took over an extremely stable and easy-to-handle Li family.

"Some big families stand for hundreds of years, I fear this adoption is an extremely important means…"

He put away his thoughts, looked at the descendants of his own family below, and laughed: "Li Zhouluo, bring your brothers and sisters up."

Li Li Zhouluo responded respectfully. Li Li Zhoufang and the others approached the front of the hall, but found that the Li Li Chengliao in front of him suddenly had joy, hurriedly stood up, avoided the main seat, and said respectfully: "Seen the Adult!"

Li Li Zhouluo looked back and found a woman standing in the hall, wearing long feather clothes, stepping on silver boots, black hair tied up, wearing a white flower, holding a silver-white long spear, standing quietly.

Her apricot eyes were hazy with purple, just standing here, and her thunder was not how it appeared, but it made Li Li Zhouluo dare not look, and naturally understood who this person was.
